About 600 families and youth showed up for the official opening and ribbon cutting of the new North Surrey Youth Park at the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre. Everyone was wowed by North America's first free-standing, covered skate bowl and its many unique features such as the new sport box that will accommodate both basketball and floor hockey for all ages. City funding was augmented by federal RInC (Recreational Infrastructure Canada) Program funding contributions. The free event also included amazing skateboard competitions, BMX bike demos, multiple sport and family activities, community displays, and prize giveaways for those in attendance. What a great new facility for Surrey's youth
